Needs Assessment Purpose
The mission of the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (the Department) is to protect, promote and improve the health and well-being of all Maryland citizens in a fiscally responsible way. The Department's mission touches the life of every citizen in Maryland and is evident in the scope and depth of the programs, offices and administrations that fall within the Public Health Services (PHS) branch. PHS works to improve the health status of individuals, families and communities through prevention, early intervention, surveillance and treatment.
To accomplish this mission, PHS engages with local and community stakeholders ranging from neighborhoods to local health departments, community-based organizations and faith based institutions. Hospitals and health care systems, clinical practices, academic institutions and state partners, including other state government agencies, also contribute to the success of public health in Maryland.
The purpose of this Needs Assessment is to understand the health status of Maryland's diverse communities with a focus on populations who experience poorer health outcomes. The assessment provides a foundation for the general public, community and state leaders to understand the health needs of Maryland.
A majority of the data and assessment for this process occurs through the Maryland State Health Improvement Process (SHIP) housed in PHS.1 SHIP functions as both a mechanism for ongoing data assessment to identify health needs as well as a community health improvement plan for communities to select strategies and to implement change. SHIP consists of 41 data indicators in five focus areas actively used by over 100 partners including all 24 Local Health Departments (LHDs) and 20 Local Health Improvement Coalitions (LHICs).
This Needs Assessment focuses on four priority areas identified by SHIP partners and input from PHS leadership:
Priority 1: Access to Care Priority 2: Community Health Priority 3: Emergency Preparedness Priority 4: Patient Safety
For each priority area the assessment provides baseline data, factors that impact health and details populations who experience poorer health outcomes. Relevant SHIP target goals for improvement are included. Additional data notes and resources to mobilize action can be found
1 The selection of SHIP data points and the ongoing community use of SHIP mirrors the Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP) process developed by the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO).

on the SHIP website. 2 The assessment concludes with a discussion on the strategic use of data and technology to continuously inform policy and program planning at the state and local level. Maryland Demographics Maryland is over 9,700 square miles and is home to 5.9 million people. The state is geographically diverse, home to Appalachian Mountains, the Chesapeake Bay and the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean. The state's population core is clustered around the Baltimore Washington Metropolitan Area and has experienced a two year change in median age since 2010 (currently 38).3 Maryland has fewer residents living in poverty (9.4%) and has a higher median household income ($72,999) and homeownership (68.1%) rate than the nation. Maryland is also more diverse than the national average, with 53.9% of residents identifying as non-Hispanic whites (compared to 63% nationally) and 30% of residents identifying as black (compared to 13% nationally).4
